I think the American Beaty Pageant will morph into the bearded lady. They have the capacity to have skills that American young women have traditionslly not showcased, like landing a jet onto an aircraft carrier. In the name of inclusiveness, the Left has already dealt a big blow to women's sports, letting males walk away with scholarships meant for women, and that in some communities represented their only chance to go to college. Why not include a death blow to another avenue of advancement for women, in the name of compassion? The big surprise awaiting women is that after all the bellyaching by the Left about lack of equal rights for women, the Left has every intention of giving women equal rights, the right to be drafted and to be sent into combat, and the right to be blown up, and then they can come back and enter the work force for life, no more taking time off to raise children.

I'd like to be him when I grow up (grin).<br /><br />@REM1875- Bill Clinton is the living embodiment of scum, though I actually grew a bit fonder of his presidency in retrospect after suffering through Obama for 8 years. <br /><br />@Alfonso Bedoya- Geez, when you mentioned "Pussy Parade" I suddenly flashed back about 60 years to watching Captain Kangaroo, who regularly played the song "Here comes the Pussycat Parade." Now I'm going to hell and it's your fault (grin).<br /><br />@Anonymous- I appreciate your dedication to the cause.<br /><br />@John the Econ- Complete agreement with your thoughts. Does anyone for a moment think that a contestant will score points by articulating her intent to make a positive social impact by working harder to end abortion or strengthen 2nd Amendment rights? Nope - it's going to be another Liberal crap fest. Not that it wasn't already.<br /><br />And great observations about Bill Clinton and why he's no longer a player (in multiple senses). As you've said on multiple occasions here, Bill has actually done a great service for us by showing the Left to be liars when it comes to genuinely caring more about women than ideology.<br /><br />@Unknown- The History Channel should definitely run a counter-programming special called "I Miss America."<br /><br />@Colby Muenster- Is a "beauty pageant" really worse than a bodybuilding competition? Or an athletic competition? All strike me as being singularly unimportant, but do we need to erase one or all of these things just to better create a "Harrison Bergeron"-style world in which no one can show any superiority to anyone else in any aspect?<br /><br />In truth, I don't care about the Miss America pageant, but I <i>do</i> care about another "win" being chalked up by the progressive Taliban that wants to erase our culture and history.<br /><br />And regarding naked musicianship, a modest woman will always choose the cello.<br /><br />@Gregg the Obscure- I wouldn't bet against your predictions.<br /><br />@Regnad Kcin- Your handstand remark reminds me of a stupid joke in which an old woman, hoping to kindle a romantic spark in her husband, does a naked handstand in the bedroom and waits for him to discover her. When he does, nearly bumping into her, he squints a moment then asks "why aren't you wearing your dentures?"<br /><br />@Anonymous- But isn't it unfair to be judged on one's personality? Heaven knows I've suffered my entire life because of that (grin).<br /><br />@Igor- Yeah, I haven't watched the show in decades. But I resent losing the <i>choice</i> to watch the show (in its traditional form).<br /><br />@Joseph ET- I'd love to take a swing at it. I <i>am</i> a radio man at heart; loved working in the medium for years, and even now go to sleep at night listening to old time radio episodes (seriously folks, go to Archive.org and download episodes of "Suspense!")<br /><br />I'm actually starting to sniff around the possibility of creating some audio content for the Amazon Echo devices just so I can play with my microphones, sound effects, and music cuts again.<br /><br />@Robert Tatro- When it comes to gazing at a couple of galaxies in the Miss Nude Universe Pageant, all I can say is "Hubble, Hubble!"<br /><br />And yes, that was a <i>terrible</i> joke but I'm sleep-deprived (grin).<br /><br />@Shelly- You're exactly right: at the point a bathing suit contest no longer has bathing suits, then it's lost its essence (whether one considers that "essence" to be trivial or not).<br /><br />And yes, it <i>does</i> look like the Clinton magic (black magic, to be sure) is at an end.

There's way too much painful truth in your observation.<br /><br />@Casey Carney- I knew in my heart that "spooge removal" would cause a spit take somewhere. Sorry about your keyboard, but thanks for confirming my comedic instincts.<br /><br />@Geoff King- Excellent points throughout. I'm also put in mind of the "Boy Scouts" who don't need to be boys anymore. Everything has to be homogenized and made palatable to the always-offended class, and our culture will be all the poorer for it.<br /><br />@jpb252- Although not a <i>Rhodes</i> scholarship program based on a lot of the interview answers.<br /><br />@Fred Ciampi- At the point that "inner beauty" (ie, a good sob story and unwavering commitment to social justice dogma) is the only consideration, surely some favoritism will apply to those with the most obvious physical flaws. But will that pendulum eventually swing when ugly is the new beautiful?<br /><br />And to get serious for a moment, I'm not for the "objectification of women" and reducing them to eye candy. But that being said, is beauty something to be ashamed of? Or is there room to appreciate physical beauty as part of a whole package in a (meaningless) competition like this? If the Miss America organization is so anxious to change everything, then throw out the name and just call it the Social Justice Awards.<br /><br />@TrickyRicky- Don't tell anyone, but heterosexual men will always enjoy the sight of an attractive woman. Nature MADE us that way so we'd be ready on short notice (VERY short notice) to help impregnate a woman who is only ovulating once a month - otherwise the species would die out. It doesn't make men (well, not ALL men) pigs. <br /><br />All I know is that when Valerie Jarrett can be a legitimate Miss America contestant, something has gone terribly wrong.<br /><br />And as I've reflected on D-Day today, I've thought (hopefully incorrectly) that our nation couldn't rise to the occasion if such battles had to be fought today. That's not a denigration of our service people, but rather a sad commentary on our national unity and spirit.<br /><br />@Emmentaler Limburger- And every contestant will think, "I've got this in the bag!"<br /><br />@Judi King- Considering the new standard for judging Miss America will be ideological purity, maybe we haven't actually dodged that "Miss Nazi" bullet.<br /><br />@Rob- Again, that was one of the ideas I toyed with for today's cartoon; a description of the new criteria for winning "Miss America," followed by a 3rd panel of Hillary rubbing her evil little hands together and thinking "I don't care who I have to kill, I'm winning this."

There was just something about the paired words "spooge removal" that made me laugh.<br /><br />@Anonymous- Such a study would be genuinely fascinating and similar to research done into "schizophrenogenic families" in which the mental illness of one or more persons actually shapes everyone else in the family.<br /><br />@Joseph ET- That's a hilarious insight. Although if it DOES go on the radio, they should call it "Miss Naked America" anyway so we can at least imagine the rope-jumping "talent" being interesting.<br /><br />@Mike aka Proof- Excellent point!<br /><br />@Griz Alaska- It would be unfair to have Busty compete with anyone else. The woman is a winner.<br /><br />@Phoebe- Considering that "physical appearance" should no longer be a consideration, it seems like burqas are the only logical choice. Although I suppose it would also work to simply have blind judges.<br /><br />@James Daily- I considered making today's joke be about the changing standards for "Miss America" in light of transgenderism, and the 3-panel exchange would have gone like this:<br />Reporter: So can women with dicks compete?<br />Official: Well, we had to draw the line somewhere... so we're not allowing <i>big</i> dicks.<br /><br />And shame on me for not commenting on this historic military anniversary on the front page. Unimaginable heroism and sacrifice.<br /><br />@Ruggles- And he's always tried his best to do just that.<br /><br />@Jim Irre- Admittedly I haven't watched the Miss America show for decades (Bert Parks still sings "There she is," right?). It's a pretty stupid competition...especially when they take the "pretty" out of it.<br /><br />@Rod- Kinky, but it works!<br />Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-90115672509952580632018-06-06T15:34:49.577-05:002018-06-06T15:34:49.577-05:00If I'm not mistaken, the Miss America Pageant ...If I'm not mistaken, the Miss America Pageant started as a bathing suit contest, so I guess they've come full circle. It's boiled down to a talent contest with a heavy dose of social justice warrioring and #MeToo. There are a number of talent/singing competitions available all year long so why carve out one day a year to watch an inferior talent show. The only reason to watch Miss America is to admire/ogle beautiful women in gorgeous evening gowns and skimpy swimsuits. Without that, it's unnecessary. The talent portion was always the weakest link and the other pageants never bothered with it. The first one under this format might get some curiosity viewers but after that, it's likely to get cancelled.<br /><br />As far as Slick Willy goes, it appears the Clinton protection racket in the mainstream liberal media is finally breaking down now that there is no further political power to be gained due to the woeful losing campaign of the missus. Could it be that the long woeful scourge of the Clintons is finally coming to an end? One can only pray.
